Hey guys,Wanted to share my grill build with ya. Finished up this fire pit last year but summer rolled around and needed a bbq grill to go with the pit.

Some build pics: Some expanded I got at the scrap yard, plasma cutting to size

Might as well practice some tig weaving on the frame:

many beers later.. wala:

On to the frame.Now I know a lot of people have told me I need to do some kind of height adjustment.. which I might in the future but so far I found that building a grill that slids over the pit actually lets you control the heat pretty well.

Decided to go with an aluminum frame since its light and it doesnt get that hot.

A lot of beveling and welding later:

heres the coal shelf at work:

Food test:

As an ex welder that build is beautiful, nice fillet welds too. Looks like you know your way around engineering. A rotisserie would be a great addition. Food looks brilliant as well, love seafood. Look forward to additions.
